How annoying is it that we must develop style-sheets for standards-compliant browsers like Firefox, Opera, Safari then make minor adjustments in a second stylesheet for Internet Explorer 7 and a third stylesheet with major adjustments for Internet Explorer 6? We can put an end to the annoying quirks of Internet Explorer 6 by asking folks to update their browser.
The optional custom message allows you to even recommend a browser, for example it will offer the link to update Internet Explorer and you may add additional text recommending Firefox. Both the image banner and the custom text automatically offer a free download for the latest Internet Explorer. The custom message allows you to create your own custom error message and custom instructions to display after, "Click Here".
For example, if you entered, "Warning, you are using an outdated version of Internet Exporer 6 that may cause problems when viewing this site" in the custom error message param. Then you enter, "to download the latest version of Internet explorer" in the post text custom param, it will print as follows:
Warning, you are using an outdated version of Internet Explorer 6 that may cause problems when viewing this site. CLICK HERE to download the latest version of Internet Explorer.
This module can be styled with a "Class" param in the backend. Simply apply the class and add style to your stylesheet.

I installed this module and went to a machine running IE 6. and the site wouldn't even load completely. I got an error message stating a higher version was required. Maybe I have another module/plugin that requires that and aborts the load.
On the positive, it did install easily and had the parameters as advertised.
